You can use vegetable oil too. I remember with my first couple dogs, GDB had
us put a tablespoon of vegetable oil in the dog food every day.

There are also pill pockets.  It can get a little pricy though, 
but you could put the capsules in the pill pockets.  Your dog 
will eat that most likely! haha

Thanks Marsha.  I was kind of hoping I could avoid puncturing the
tablet and just have her eat it with her fod.  GDB adds water to 
the
dog's food as well.  I might just try dropping the tablet in her 
food
and see if she'll eat it like that, if not, I'll go the other 
route.

 Minh,
 With my first guide, I added a tablet worths to her water.  With 
my Emma
 girl, I added a punctured tablet to her food.  Once she got sick 
and would
 eat around the tablet, I would squeeze out the contents of the 
tablet on to
 her wet food.  She was from TSE, where they give the pup food 
with a little
 bit of water on it.  Not sure if they do that anymore.  With 
this pup I will
 puncture the tablet and put into her dry food.  I guess it 
depends on the
 pup, the school in which you got yoru pup from, and how the food 
is given to
 the pup.

 Yes it does smell bad, it is from fish though...LOL

 I'm curious, when you give your dog the fish oil tablet, do you 
add it
 to the food or do you do it by hand? My boyfriend gives his dog 
a fish
 oil supplement but it's liquid and it smells absolutely 
atrocious so
 I've avoided going that route for a while.  Now that winter is 
fast
 approaching, I'm noticing that my dog is itching more because 
her coat
 is getting dryer so I want to start her on fish oil.

 thank you everyone for your responses.  I never knew that humans 
could
 take
 fish oil too, until a fmaily member told me of it.  I have been 
giving to
 my
 pups for a while.  Just glad I don't have to buy separate 
tablets for the
 pup
 too.

 Marsha,

 My vet niece assures me that the same fish oil I take is also 
good for
 the
 dogs.  So we ran out of fish oil, and I keep forgetting to get 
more.
 /lol/

 Listers,
 I recently began taking a fish oil supplement that I purchased 
from
 Costco.  Of course since fall and winter have now started 
visiting the
 Northeast, my pup has dry skin and will itch.  Are the fish oil 
pills
 that
 humans take, the same that are safe for pups? Are they 
different?
 Just wondering if anyone knows.

 Thanks,
